and you might ask yourself
just who is the bald guy on stage?
and you might ask yourself
what the fuck does he know about me and my life and my problems?
and you might ask yourself
what does this song mean if it has no meaning?
and you might ask yourself
just what do i feel if i don’t have any feelings? yeah

into the blue again
water flowing underground
letting the days go by
water flowing underground

you might ask yourself
how do i get to the bottom of the ocean?
you might ask yourself
just who lives on the dark side of the moon?
you might ask yourself
what am i waiting for, what am i waiting for?
you might ask yourself
i just wanna know, who is june?

letting the days go by
water flowing underground
into the blue again
water flowing underground

whoa!
wow!

don’t be afraid, this is only a test
don’t be afraid, this is only a test
(screams)

whoa!
what the fuck?! just what the fuck is goin’ on?
ow!

this is our time
this is our church
this is our world, this is our rock
this is our...place, our time, our time, i don’t mean a hard time, our time
behind every mirror, you will find another mirror
behind every smile, another smile
don’t be afraid of the dark
just some friendly advice
we feel it, we feel it, we feel it comin’ from underneath our feet
we rip open the earth, (ripping noise)
up comes bubbling the madness, the dust...the memories of past (Jimmy snare/kick drum hit) generations, thank you jimmy
i needed that
but still...it seemed like a revolution had taken place, but unfortunately it was just the beginning, not the end
the revolution for world peace, world consciousness, has just begun
no more wars, no more soldiers, no more lying, no more bullshit, no more, no more, no more, no more
